    How it works

    Two stressed syllables. 135,000 places to land.

    A rhyme lives in the stressed syllables. RhymeGold finds them, then searches every word and phrase for the same sounds in the same shape.

    1

    Find the stresses

    It looks your word or phrase up in the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary, splits it into syllables and sounds, and finds the stressed vowels that carry the rhyme: A and B.

    Match by sound

    Every word and phrase is matched on those vowels and what follows them, never on spelling, so “through” rhymes with “blue”, not “rough”. Near and slant rhymes too, when a perfect one won't do.
